SLO STUDENT ANTI-WAR PROTESTORS FACE SANCTIONS: After months of criticism for excusing racist behavior by fraternity men wearing blackface at campus parties and a campus Republicans “free speech wall” of racist and xenophobic remarks, the administration at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo has begun an investigation—into a protest by anti-war students against military contractor Raytheon at a campus jobs fair.

Call wrote in the letter on behalf of the CFA chapter executive board, “Students at California’s public universities have been protesting the presence of military contractors on their campuses since the 1960s” and “formal university investigations of peaceful student demonstrations have a serious chilling effect on student free speech.”
